Chapter 1913: Chapter 1913: Not Presentable?
Hearing the conversations of a few elders, everyone else perked their ears.
Unfortunately, Old Master Fu was tight-lipped and refused to say anything.
"Hmph, I bet they gave something that can’t be shown in public."
The remark came from Su Yiyang, who was sitting at the same table as Su Rongsheng.
As soon as Su Yiyang spoke, the surroundings fell silent again.
After the silence, a cold and crisp voice suddenly rang out, "People who can’t show themselves in public view everything as unpresentable."
Everyone turned towards the voice and saw Jin Huazhu looking coldly at Su Yiyang.
Upon hearing this, Su Yiyang’s face stiffened, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, Shen Qing tugged at him.
Then, Shen Qing looked at Jin Huazhu with an apologetic expression, "I’m sorry, kids often speak without thinking. Please forgive him, Lady Fu."
Jin Huazhu: "Kids? A kid in their twenties, that’s a first for me. What? Still a kid because his intellect hasn’t matured fully?"
Shen Qing: "..."
His face awkwardly tightened for a moment, unsure of what to say, just standing there embarrassed.
Su Yiyang was so angry he turned red, "How can you say..."
Before Su Yiyang could finish, Su Rongsheng interrupted, "Quiet!"
Su Yiyang dared not disobey Su Rongsheng, so he grudgingly shut his mouth.
Su Rongsheng: "Is this how you speak to your elders? Do you have any right to interrupt? Apologize to Aunt Hua!"
Su Yiyang: "I..."
"Apologize!" Su Rongsheng’s tone turned even colder.
Su Yiyang: "..."
Standing there resentfully for two seconds, he then turned his head towards Jin Huazhu and said, "Sorry, Aunt Hua."
Jin Huazhu: "Just call me Lady Fu."
Su Yiyang: "..."
Slightly lowering his gaze, he slowly tightened his hands resting at his sides.
Su Rongsheng gave Su Yiyang a look, signaling him to sit down before turning to Jin Huazhu, "Yiyang is straightforward, he just says what’s on his mind. The words may have been a bit harsh, please don’t take it to heart, Lady Fu."
Compared to Shen Qing, Su Rongsheng was notably more competent.
He not only explained away Su Yiyang’s rudeness as straightforwardness but also indirectly affirmed Su Yiyang’s words.
After all, it was just a suspicion that the gift from Gu Zhiqi couldn’t be seen in public.
The people present were intelligent and could naturally discern the underlying meaning.
The faces of the Fu Family looked very displeased.
The Meng Family’s expressions were also not good, because the commotion finally caught the attention of Gu Zhiqi and Jin Cenglv, halting their discussions, leaving no room for quiet eavesdropping.
Thus, with faces full of resentment, they stared at Su Rongsheng’s group, wishing they could bore a hole into them with their gaze.
This left Su Rongsheng and his group feeling somewhat puzzled, what’s gotten into these Meng Family folks?
Even if they were relatives of the Fu Family, there’s no need for such looks.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s attention drawn towards the commotion, Fu Xiyan whispered in her ear, "Will revealing the gift cause you any trouble?"
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, "Since I’ve brought it out as a birthday gift, naturally, I’m not afraid of scrutiny."
Besides, she didn’t like trouble but was never afraid of it.
After pondering for two seconds, she added to Fu Xiyan, "I actually have quite a lot of that thing on hand. If I can seize the moment to advertise it and find buyers among these people, that’d be quite nice."
The people attending the party today were either wealthy or noble, so there should be plenty who can afford it.
Fu Xiyan: "..."
As expected of you, even now, you’re thinking about business.
Fu Xiyan paused for a few seconds, then turned to Old Master Fu and said, "Since everyone wants to see it, Grandpa, why don’t you let them have a look?"
